Kenny The Movie - June 22nd, 2006
went to a preview of a film last night, it was a new Australian comedy mockumentary called Kenny. It is about a dude that delivers, cleans and maintains portaloos to big events. It’s a cliche, it’s totally predictable, it was a feel-good/feel-alright story about a guy who’s living his life in some unfortunate ciscumstances, but he battles on, not really feeling that his ciscumstances are even that unfortunate.
And it was awesome!
It was not unlike The Castle in that it was a film about aussie battlers, battling on and just living their lives as normal. But to some, their normal seems pretty funny. They pulled it off really well, and by the end of the film i really wanted Kenny to have everything going right for him. I loved Kenny – the man and i really enjoyed Kenny – the film, i recommend it (on DVD). It’s a grea DVD movie, but going and seeing it in the cinema will let you see every hair on Kenny’s goatee.
It was a Jacobson Bros. film – whoever the Jacobson Bros. are.

The jacobson brothers are Shane, who plays KENNY and Clayton, his real life brother who is the director and also plays KENNY’s brother in the film. The guy who plays the father is actually Shane and Clayton’s real father, but the kid who plays KENNY’s son is actually his nephew … it’s Clayton’s son. Can’t have everything …
I suggest seeing this in a cinema, because the waves of laughter from an audience add sooooo much to the pleasure. I saw it at a packed preview and laughed more than I have at a movie for a long, long time …
